Scott7 6,024 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Sixty years ago on this day ‘Spurs beat Rangers 2-3 in the second leg of the second round of the Cup Winners Cup to make the aggregate score 4-8. The result was a disappointment but it was a good match. The Rangers team was a permutation of the great early sixties elevens. This one had Henderson for Scott and Davis for Greig. ‘Spurs had Blanchflower and McKay and Greaves and White and a couple of Welsh Wing Wizards but I don’t think they were necessarily better players than Rangers players. They were a better team by which I mean they were better coached by Bill Nicholson than Rangers were by Scot Symon. I think Symon’s method was to assemble the talent and let them get on with it. Not entirely unsuccessful. ’Spurs went on to win the cup. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
